Sellin a kawi, to get another kawi, short one cyl.

As many of you know i recently built my 810 streetfighter kz. To make this build possible i had to rob some parts off of "ol reliable" my 1982 kz750(carbs, master cylinder, reg/rec.). This bike was my first kz, rode it to sturgis and back last summer, and the bike that got me interested in the old kawi's. I have recently found a new bike i will be purchasing and it will require me to sell my kz750 to make room.

I have always had this desire to own an old kawasaki triple. Never in my life have i ever even seen one in person. Until recently, i found 2 complete kawasaki s2 350's. Next weekend i will be headed over to pick one up! They are both complete but pretty rough. Have been sitting outside for a long time and will definately need alot of work. I figured i better snatch one up before they are impossible to find. S2 parts are becoming very hard to find and expensive, including pistons and rings. It will be a long, time consuming project, but is something that i really want. This build will of course take a back seat to my kz1000 build.

Here is a pic of the bike that i will be sacrificing for the triple.



I will post some pics of the new triple when i get it home.

The website www.reproductiondecals.com and www.johnnysvintagemotorcycle.com/ can get some of the older triple engined parts.

thanks alot, alot of good parts on those sites.

Here's the Canadian Kawi Tripples in Paris ON:




I'd love to get a tripple.

It's the attack of the killer chainsaws!

What a gas.
